Ever wonder how gold is made. One explanation of the origin of gold is from the collision of neutron stars.

Future space explorers may find asteroids with gleaming veins of gold. Many scientists believe that gold is formed only in a very specialized environment, where two neutron stars collide, causing an expansion which ejects gold elements into the outer layers, some of which may deflect off into space and eventually end up on places like earth, carried here by asteroids and meteors.
